Montreal: The wife of a Saudi blogger who was publicly flogged for “insulting Islam” called for his release on Tuesday.

“My husband, Raef Badawi, is imprisoned for simply expressing liberal ideas,” Ensaf Haider, who sought asylum in Canada with her three children after Badawi was arrested, told a news conference in Montreal.
